has anyone tried putting a long bed tank into a short bed to gain an extra 10 gallons?
also, are gas tanks and diesel tanks the same thing?

 

I believe the tanks are the same.

Gas is 35 gallon.

I got the 35 gallon tank in my CCSB. The gas station attendant smiles when I pull in. Lately, my wallet has not cried due to cheaper than normal pricing at the pump. The most I have added to my tank was 33 gallons. I guess I was pretty empty at that point

 

Hmmm, I always thought the long bed tank was 38 gallons.

 

My 2013 F350 CCSB only holds 29 gallons.

 

35, 38. it is still better than the 25 or so that i currently have in the 02 diesel.
the parts truck i have has the larger tank in it, but it is a gas truck. i just was not sure if the gas and diesel tanks were the same or if the larger tank would fit in the short bed trucks.

i also figured it is easier to ask than to pull the bed and tank only to find out it will not work.

 

99-07 gas or diesel all short bed trucks have a 29 gallon tank all long bed trucks have a 38 gallon tank, I'm pretty sure this also this applies to 08-10 trucks also.
The 35 gallon tank is on all 6.2 pickups regardless of bed length. The 6.7's are 26 for the short beds and 38 for long beds. I have seen I think it was on this site where someone put long bed tank in a short bed so it is possible.

 

i wish i had this parts truck 2 years ago when i replaced the bed and acid washed and painted the frame.

 

The 13 has a 26 in the short bed, I know this as I just replaced with a 50 gallon OEM Titan.
My dealer ship did not know or would not look into changing the tank size so the MTE would be right.
Thanks to a long time friend, who owns his own shop , I got it flashed. In the process he discovered 2other updates that should have been done with the last service. Looks like its back to the dealer one more time.

 

Gas is 35.

 

It depends on the year for tank size. My '06 V10 CCSB gasser had only a 28-29 gallon tank (I put almost 29 in it once regardless of what the book says) . If I was pulling our 5er, that meant ten minutes after a fill up, I was contemplating the next gas station stop. The 6.7 CCLB '11 has a 38 gallon tank plus much better towing mileage which means I can relax for a while between fill ups.

I believe that what you wont get and what I found in my research, is any kind of DOT certification from a manufacturer if you use an aftermarket diesel tank for gasoline. It was also another reason to trade up to the LB and diesel.

 

TJC Did you ever figure it out. I have the same question.

 

yes, i found it will not work on the 02 diesel i was asking about. the tank is too long and does not fit .

 

FWIW - I just checked the manual for my 2016 F250. It says all 6.2 pickups have a 35 gallon tank.
